After having PPF and window tinting completed with DPS Automotive, I feel that work was justified, as I am thrilled with the results. When I ordered my Defender SUV, the Schaumburg LR dealership recommended DPS Automotive for PPF. I spoke with the owner, Tom, about the options and costs. With considerable time before vehicle delivery, over several weeks I talked to four other PPF installers. Each had strong opinions on the quality of their work vs. their competitors and each encouraged me to visit their shop to see projects in process. Because DPS’ pricing was the most aggressive, I did not initially visit them. I began to believe some of the hype that the price would have a direct correlation to the quality of the work. I’ll add, with the proposals I saw, I gave up on the idea of doing full matte PPF coverage, and resigned that due to the cost, I would only have the front end protected. A few weeks before delivery, I finally visited DPS. While I had met four other installers, I had not yet chosen one. Tom put me in touch with Kelsey in Customer Support, who gave me a tour. Immediately, it was apparent that the DPS shop was the cleanest, most organized, and most professional looking of all I had seen – significantly so. Kelsey showed me a number of vehicles in different stages of various projects. During other visits, I had been shown some ways to evaluate a high quality PPF application vs. those that are less so. In taking a careful look at some key areas, what I saw at DPS was better than the work I saw elsewhere of which the other providers were extremely proud. Furthermore, Kelsey was so helpful (and patient) with all of my questions, both that day and in several follow-up emails, she made me completely comfortable in finally deciding to work with DPS. I once heard that with any service, you will eventually forget what you paid, you will forget how long it took, but you will never forget the quality of the work. That thought had me leaning towards other installers, who I began to believe would be higher quality due to their higher costs. Once I visited DPS, the quality question was immediately put to bed. However, because DPS’ pricing was still the most aggressive, not only was I able to get the complete matte PPF coverage, I also added window tinting for the front windows. Despite the high quality I’d seen during my visit, I was still shocked at how incredible my car looked when I picked it up. While it was easy to see where the matte PPF had been applied, I could not immediately tell if the gloss PPF had been installed on the black trim areas. I first thought there may have been some confusion and those had been left out. There were no edges I could see, and the PPF was completely invisible. It was only after running my fingers along the back of the rear bumper that I could confirm the PPF was there, as I could feel the subtle film edge wrapped and hidden far back. It was impossible for me to have been any happier with the PPF work. It was beyond anything I had seen in other shops. I was so pleased, that I initially forgot to even notice the front window tinting that perfectly matched the factory privacy glass on the rear windows. During the pick up, I met Ish who had been the installer. He showed me everything he had done, which only made me further appreciate the completed work. Areas where I would not have thought to look were pointed out and I could see how perfectly everything had been installed. There I also met the GM, Kevin, who thanked me for the business and encouraged me to follow up if I encountered any issues. I can honestly say that my experience with DPS Automotive is one of the most satisfying vendor interactions I have had. The quality of the work, the pricing of the project, and the help and follow-through from Tom, Kelsey, Ish, and Kevin, were all beyond my highest expectations. I truly could not recommend DPS Automotive more highly. —– Author: Brendan Boyce Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/5/2024, 7:06:53 PM Review: I spent more time researching PPF and meeting installers than I did choosing my car.

They can do pretty much every cool attachment to your car you can think of. Prices are extremely fair, I can see other places pricing way more. I got my jeep wrangler wrapped from bright red to Satin Black and added lights underneath the seats in the interior of the car (looks amazing). I also provided a previously owned ring break light in the back tire and they put it on for free! They will check everything over 3-4 times to make sure it’s done perfectly for you. Long story short, highly recommend. —– Author: Jack Wilson Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/24/2024, 2:45:27 PM Review: Amazing place!

They said they did great work and had great prices. I was informed when I dropped off my vehicle and over the phone that it should be roughly $350 and 3-4 hours to finish. At the end I paid $450 and waited 5 hours. Front desk worker was rude, any question asked seemed to be a chore, and lacked customer service skill (Alec). The work was top notch by the workers in the back. I just wished it was done on time and the front desk worker lost the attitude when speaking to myself and other customers. While I was waiting I asked the front desk worker the first time (near 3.5 hour mark) the rough ETA and I went to sit down. He went to the back and came back and sat in his seat. I had to walk up and ask what he had learned which I thought was strange. Since I find customer service and timely deliverable of goods as extremely important in business. I had to write a poor review despite their great work. (Also I know this is small but they didn’t have water in their mini fridge in the waiting area). —– Author: Iggy_ILL sary Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/28/2023, 2:51:21 PM Review: I recently purchased a brand new Tesla Model 3 and wanted to protect the paint by installing Paint Protection Film (PPF). In this advanced day and age, when you even talk amongst your friends and family about certain products or services, your cell phone automatically picks it up and begins bombarding your social media feeds with ads/accounts for said products or services. I remember seeing my social media flooded with dozens of car detailing businesses. I filled out automated forms to receive quotes. Tom Waltzman of DPS Automotive was probably the only 1 out of 20 that actually responded to my return questions with an actual direct text (not a robot/auto-response). He expertly answered all my questions in an open and honest manner. He even invited me to his shop for additional consulting in case I had any doubts. I took him up on that offer and came away impressed. The shop was clean, organized and very professional. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I had a great feeling that if I decided to go with them, my car would be in good hands. They also happened to be running a summer pricing special so I was able to get full car PPF, full ceramic coating, and window tints all for decent discount compared to purchasing each item a la carte at its normal price. My car was in their shop for about 5 business days. They posted their progress on their instgram account and it was great to see those updates. When I picked up my car, it looked beautiful (we went with a satin/matte black PPF finish, 35% tint). They really went above and beyond to tuck in the PPF where they could and line it up seamlessly where they couldn’t. I was very happy with the QUALITY of their work. In the Chicagoland area, there’s probably dozens upon dozens of car detail shops that provide similar services. In my opinion, what sets DPS apart from all of the other shops is their attention to their clients and their attention to details (no pun intended) and it shows in the great quality of their work. I am beyond satisfied I chose DPS to assist me with my investment in my vehicle. —– Author: Allan Rosenberg Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/20/2023, 3:30:19 PM Review: This is the second time I have used DPS. They are always professional and do a really good job and a fair price.
